Don't Be Sad For Too Long, Kiddy :)

I was with my sister and my nephew waiting for doctor to come when I saw something that hit me quiet hard. So, there were a kid, maybe around grade 3 or 4, his little brother, and his mom. He was doing his math task, helped by his mother. This kid seemed so bored with the task, he was mad and even cried, but his mom still explained about these math things.

At the time, I felt the urge to come to this kid, pat him in his back, and say, "Everything's just fine, kid. Just cry as long as you wish, your homework or your task can wait for you. Just cry for now, then we'll talk about this after you're done crying." But I didn't say, which is so sad. You must have known living in this country called Indonesia with its mothers. I just afraid when I got closer, she'd said, "Mind your own business, girl."

So at the end, I just stared at this kid and hoping for the best, at least he could become stronger than before. He continued crying and his mom continued explaining, over and over again. If I was brave enough, I would probably went there and talked with him. I could comfort him, and explain some things in a funnier way like I used to have with my little brothers at home, probably would help.

For every little kiddy out there, please, just cry whenever you feel like to, just don't hold it inside, it would hurt you even more. While for mothers out there, even though I'm not a mother myself, please be more respectful on those kids' emotions, be more aware, and be more understanding. They need their moms be by their side, no need to do much, just be there and validate their feeling.

Cheer up, Kiddy ^^
